NAS 370 - Indigeneity & Health Traditions

3 Credits

Students explore indigeneity and converging Western and non-Western healthcare traditions to understand how all healthcare is culturally situated. Looking at ethnocentric biases in the sciences and their negative impacts on the provision of healthcare today in Indigenous communities, students examine the complex causes of public health problems, and how traditional medicine can work with allopathic medicine to develop long-term healthcare solutions for Indigenous peoples.
